Catholic Life Of Our School
Our School Identity St Sebastian's RC Primary School is a Roman Catholic Voluntary Aided Primary School within the Diocese of Salford. This means that our school is founded on the values and traditions of the Catholic faith, and our mission is to provide an education rooted in Gospel teachings. As a Voluntary Aided school, we are supported by both the local authority and the Diocese. The governors, appointed by the Diocese, play a central role in guiding the school’s vision and ensuring that our Catholic ethos is lived out in every aspect of school life.
What This Means for Families
Faith is at the heart of our curriculum, daily worship, and community life.
We work in partnership with parents, the parish, and the Diocese to nurture children’s spiritual, moral, and academic growth.
Admissions and staffing reflect our Catholic foundation, while welcoming children of all backgrounds who wish to share in our values.
The Diocese of Salford provides oversight and support to ensure our teaching and pastoral care remain faithful to Catholic tradition.
School Prayer
Our new school prayer was developed and chosen by pupils and staff at out mission day on the Feast of St Sebastian 2025.
In April we learned how to sign our school prayer using sign supported English which is based on British Sign Language (BSL). The video below shows members of our mission team signing the prayer.
St Sebastian's School Prayer
Dear God,
let us act with kindness;
find joy in our learning;
respect everyone and everything;
always speak the truth;
show love to our brothers and sisters;
and be peacemakers to all.
Amen
